The plaintiffs and defendants claim to be the owners of certain lands in Hertford County, called “Cow Island,” and in this action the plaintiffs ask for an injunction against the defendants to prevent trespassing on said lands. The alleged trespass consists in cutting timber trees and removing them to defendants’ mill, and converting them into lumber for marketable purposes.

It is conceded that defendants are solvent and able to respond in damages for any injury the plaintiffs may sustain.

After reading affidavits and hearing the arguments, his Honor required the defendants to enter into sufficient bond to protect the plaintiffs, and to render and file a statement of the trees, etc., removed, with the Clerk at stated periods, and dissolved the restraining order theretofore granted, from which the plaintiffs appealed.

No special or irreparable damage is alleged, only such as above stated. Will a Court of Equity enjoin an ordinary trespass'? The rule has ever been that it will not, unless it is shown that the injury will be irreparable and incapable of a just compensation in money value. Ousby v. Neal, 99 N. C., 146.

The plaintiffs admit that the authorities are against them, and cite Gause v. Perkins, 56 N. C., 171; Lumber Co. v. Wallace, 93 N. C., 22; and Lewis v. Lumber Co., 99 N. C., 11, but insist that the principles announced in those cases are unjust and inequitable. They cite no authority in support of their view, and the argument fails to satisfy us that their proposition is true. The case of Gause v. Perleins, supra, is an exhaustive review of the subject, referring to many decided cases prior thereto, and the decisions since have simply repeated the principle of that case. While this Court is always ready to correct any error, it would hesitate to overrule a long and uniform list of decided cases, in harmony *3 witb all tbe text-writers, unless it should feel a strong and clear conviction that an unjust rule bad prevailed. Tbe present case fails to produce sucb a conviction.

Affirmed.
